Yeah, so I saw a lot of movies this weekend.

Elizabeth: The Golden Age - Mediocre, at best. Slow and dragged on. Shorten it to 2 hours and it's golden. It's not, so it fails.

Michael Clayton - Amazing. Everything about it is awesome. However, it's VERY complex and mind bending. You have to think, so be prepared. I still feel like I'm missing key details of exactly what happened. Gotta see it again.

Across the Universe - Perfect is one word that comes to mind. It just works. And, contrary to many people I bet, the movie is best viewed sober. Trust me.

I wanted to see The Happening, this weekend but its getting a 17% on RT....

So i may see the Hulk which is getting a suprising 73% on the tomatometer

Ceej · 06-12-2008, 11:27 PM

Any idea what The Happening is all about? I've heard aliens. Blah.

Sure-Oz · 06-12-2008, 11:39 PM

No idea, looked interesting with wahlberg in a m night film, but his films have all failed since basically signs and sixth sense, although i liked unbreakable

You definitely shouldn't be surprised about Hulk and shouldn't be surprised that The Happening is sucking.

I'm seeing Hulk today. Question is what time.

i just knew the 1st one sucked, so i didnt have hopes that this one would be decent, but i like ed norton

The Happening got a B on yahoo and C...so who knows...

I try not to base everything on ratings but ive only liked probably 3 of M Nights films,

Sixth Sense, Signs and Unbreakable

I hope it can top Lady in the Water, that thing should've been aborted before it was made

Those are my favorites too. Signs being the least.

Recently watched Mr. Brooks and Cloverfield.

Mr. Brooks was solid, but I do not like Dane Cook, so his character didn't work for me at all. Interesting movie though, I enjoyed it overall.

I had low expectations for Cloverfield, and it exceeded them. Lots of holes of course, but overall it pulled me in with the first person account. Monster(s) was actually quite well done IMO. It seems as if most reviews either hated the movie, or liked it quite a bit. Not much in between.

I watched Quid Pro Quo last night on HDNet. Comes out in theaters today. Good movie, definitely worth a rent 6 months from now. Not really a theater movie IMO.

That's on the DVR, do I have much to look forward to? I mostly recorded it under the spell of Vera Farmiga's eyes.

I thought it was good. The trailer is a little misleading IMO. Wasn't really what I was expecting, which is always nice. I hate it when I have a movie pegged before I even see it. There a couple things that I would like to say, but they would alter your perception of the movie going in and probably ruin it for you. So I won't.

That is exactly what it is.
Still creepy as hell, and had me tense the whole movie.
